A 76-year-old female had undergone implantation of a single chamber pacemaker for sick sinus syndrome 20 years previously. She developed chronic atrial fibrillation and required repeated admission due to congestive heart failure. She had significant mitral and tricuspid regurgitation. Paradoxical movement of the intraventricular septum was severe. Due to right ventricular apical pacing, significant interventricular conduction delay was present with a paced QRS duration of 189 msec. The left ventricular pacing lead was positioned via the coronary sinus. The mode of the previously implanted pacemaker was set at VVT. Biventricular pacing could be achieved even in intrinsic beats by VVT mode. The battery life time was improved. This method is useful in patients with conventional pacemakers.

The contribution of endocardial cardiac device leads to severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR) has become increasingly recognized. Current strategies for treating cardiac device lead-related TR have limitations. We present a case of a pacemaker-dependent patient with severe TR as a complication of multiple cardiac device leads who underwent laser lead extraction, which was followed by implantation of a dual-chamber pacemaker with a coronary sinus lead for left ventricular pacing and a leadless transcatheter pacemaker for backup right ventricular (RV) pacing.

Background: Biventricular pacing through the coronary sinus (CS) is effective for the treatment of patients with heart failure and left bundle-branch block. However, this approach is not always feasible. Although surgical epicardial lead implantation is an alternative, the technique may be deleterious in some patients.

Infants and small children with atrioventricular (AV) nodal disease frequently require pacing in order to maintain an adequate heart rate. The maintenance of AV synchrony is physiologically optimal in this setting. Unfortunately, small size and congenital anomalies often preclude the placement of standard transvenous dual chamber pacing systems.

Aim: The purpose of this study was to examine if the relationship between physiological changes classically observed with exercise duration and some subjective workload measures would be affected by the complexity of the locomotion mode (running vs racewalking).
Methods: The study was conducted on 24 well trained subjects (12 long distance runners and 12 racewalkers) divided in 3 groups (runners, racewalkers and control). Energy cost of locomotion (C), heart rate (HR), minute ventilation (V(E)), lactate concentration [La], ratings of perceived exertion (RPE 6-20 scale) and ratings of perceived difficulty (RPD 1(-1)5 scale) were recorded during 2 10-min submaximal tests on a treadmill before and immediately after a 3 hour exercise (racewalking or running) conducted at the velocity ventilatory threshold (vVT).
